[0030] See also Figure 1The embodiment of the utility model provides an offline detection device with an integrated airtight monitoring function, including an intake control module 1, a three-chamber intake control module 2, an insulation monitoring module 3 and a control module 4.

[0031] The air intake control module 1 includes a manual switch 101, a first pressure sensor 102, a shut-off valve 103, a proportional valve 104 and a second pressure sensor 105 which are sequentially connected to the pipeline. The main function of the air intake control module 1 is to adjust the pressure required for the air tightness test of the intake air to the engine. The function of the manual switch 101 is to control the switching of the air source. Before starting the air tightness test, the manual switch 101 needs to be opened and manually closed after the test to ensure the safety of the system. The shut-off valve 103 is a controllable solenoid valve, and its function is to cut off the air source. The proportional valve 104 is a pressure regulating device. The first pressure sensor 102 is used to monitor the pressure of the air source, and the second pressure sensor 105 is used to monitor the pressure required for the air tightness test. The control module 4 adjusts the opening of the proportional valve 104 with reference to the pressure feedback from the second pressure sensor 105.

[0032] The three-chamber air intake control module 2 includes an exhaust valve 201, a hydrogen circuit valve 202, an air circuit valve 203 and a water circuit valve 204. The exhaust valve 201, the hydrogen circuit valve 202, the air circuit valve 203 and the water circuit valve 204 are connected in parallel through pipelines, and the exhaust valve 201, the hydrogen circuit valve 202, the air circuit valve 203 and the water circuit valve 204 are interconnected.

During the specific implementation, an electromagnetic throttle is used to control the intake flow of hydrogen, air and water in the engine system respectively. Since the pipeline diameters and internal cavity volumes of hydrogen, air and water in the engine system are different, if the intake flow is not controlled, the pressure difference between different cavities will be too large. Therefore, the intake flow is controlled by different openings of the throttle. The third pressure sensor 205, the fourth pressure sensor 206 and the fifth pressure sensor 207 feedback the pressure of the three chambers of the engine. The exhaust valve 201 controls the exhaust of the entire test system. After the normal test is completed, the exhaust valve 201 will slowly release air at a certain opening. If an emergency such as excessive pressure or pressure difference occurs, the exhaust valve 201 will be fully opened and the exhaust will be quickly exhausted to prevent damage to the engine system. The air circuit interface 208 is the interface between the equipment and the engine system under test, and is in the form of a quick-plug interface for easy connection.

When detecting insulation, first send a signal to the engine system under test through the control module 4, control the engine system under test to close the main positive and main negative relays, and connect the entire high-voltage circuit.
